GN solids control is one of the best mud cleaner manufacturer in China. We provide customized mud cleaner from 200gpm to 1000gpm/ single unit. The models available GNZJ83-3, GNZJ63-3, GNZJ70-3 & GNTJ60 with linear motion shale shaker. GNPJ70-4, GNPJ70-3 for balanced elliptical motion (BEM) shale shaker.

The treating capacity of the mud cleaner depends on the cyclone size and numbers. But usually if the cyclone numbers are more than 12pcs, we recommend to use a large treating capacity underflow shaker, otherwise, the treating capacity of shaker will not meet hydrocyclone, “overflow” will happen.

What is mud cleaner?

The description in Wikipedia for mud cleaner “A mud cleaneris a combination of desanders and/or desilters to remove drilled solids from mud.”

A mud cleaner is a combination of desanders and/or desilters mounted over a shaker with a fine mesh screen. A mud is fed to the inlet of the hydrocyclone (desander and/or desilter) to separate particles and the underflow passes to the fine screen mesh where in particles larger than barite are discarded and thrown away. In most drilling operations, a mud cleaner is installed in its mud systems. It is usually located in a mud tank in the same location as with the desilters.

Purpose

The purpose of the mud cleaner is to remove drilled solids larger than barite. Solids larger than 74-105 micrometres can be removed by the mud cleaner before the viscosity builds up.

BEM mud cleaner is new developed by GN this year. Compared with traditional linear motion mud cleaner, BEM shaker can get better treatment effect, and the treating capacity is larger. GN adopts 3 screen panels or 4 screen panels in the underflow shaker. The vibrating motor is Martin motor made in USA. The vibrating motor for linear motion mud cleaner is Italy Oli, which is world famous vibrating motor, too.

GNTJ60 is the smallest mud cleaner with 60m3/h flow rate. It is widely used in small HDD mud system, such as GN200gpm Mud recycling system.
